The BRIght Target Explorer (BRITE) mission collects photometric time seriesin two passbands aiming to investigate stellar structure and evolution. Sincetheir launches in the years 2013 and 2014, the constellation of five BRITEnano-satellites has observed a total of more than 700 individual bright starsin 64 fields. Some targets have been observed multiple times. Thus, the totaltime base of the data sets acquired for those stars can be as long as nineyears. Our aim is to provide a complete description of ready-to-use BRITE data,to show the scientific potential of the BRITE-Constellation data by identifyingthe most interesting targets, and to demonstrate and encourage how scientistscan use these data in their research. We apply a decorrelation process to theautomatically reduced BRITE-Constellation data to correct for instrumentaleffects. We perform a statistical analysis of the light curves obtained for the300 stars observed in the first 14 fields during the first ~2.5 years of themission. We also perform cross-identification with the International VariableStar Index. We present the data obtained by the BRITE-Constellation mission inthe first 14 fields it observed from November 2013 to April 2016. We alsodescribe the properties of the data for these fields and the 300 stars observedin them. Using these data, we detected variability in 64% of the presentedsample of stars. Sixty-four stars or 21.3% of the sample have not yet beenidentified as variable in the literature and their data have not been analysedin detail. They can therefore provide valuable scientific material for furtherresearch. All data are made publicly available through the BRITE Public DataArchive and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre.
